Maybe Problem with Calibrating Filament Sensor
When I am calibrating the filament sensors,
I found two I think are problems with Extractor Head #3.
1. When I start the calibration the Tool Exchanger only makes contact with Extractor Head #3 where the others, Tool Exchanger only removes the Extractor Head from its attach bed.
2. When I am feed the filament into the side sensor only sensor #3 only show “[“ symbol before and after the filament going through the sensor. The others will show “Off” and “On” as it goes through the sensor
First check the electrical connections.
Cheerio,

Yes I did while troubleshooting right side sensor problem. I am attaching images showing the different between #3 and #4
Is thiss a printer that has previously been running OK or are you setting up a new printer?

This a previously two extractor head printer that I am upgrading to five extractor head printer
Swap the suspect nextruder with one of your-known-to-be-working ones; does the fault move with the nextruder or stay with the dock and side sensor?

It sounds like you're dealing with some calibration issues with your filament sensor. Based on your description, it could be an issue with either the sensor itself or how it's connected to the system. You might want to check the wiring or connections for Extractor Head #3 to ensure everything is aligned properly. Additionally, the “[” symbol on sensor #3 could indicate a fault or miscommunication in the sensor's feedback. Have you tried resetting the system or checking for firmware updates? Sometimes that can help resolve odd sensor readings.
